A simple and highly efficient transfer hydrogenation of alkynes and alkenes by using a two-dimensional electride, dicalcium nitride ([Ca<sub>2</sub>N]<sup>+</sup>·e<sup>-</sup>), as an electron transfer agent is disclosed. Excellent yields in the transformation are attributed to the remarkable electron transfer efficiency in the electride-mediated reactions. It is clarified that an effective discharge of electrons from the [Ca<sub>2</sub>N]<sup>+</sup>·e<sup>-</sup> electride in alcoholic solven ...[more]
